“It was nice of Spike to ask us all over for a sleepover!” cheered Apple Bloom from within the guest room she shared with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.
“I just don’t see why he wouldn’t stay with us in the same room,” Scootaloo shrugged. “It’s not like we have cooties or something silly like that.”
Sweetie Belle was fighting sleep but felt compelled to add to the discussion.
“”He just is probably nervous about snoring or doing something embarrassing in his sleep,” she yawned.
“Embarrassin’?” thought Apple Bloom.
“No pony could snore louder than Rainbow Dash,” Scootaloo sighed. “No monster would dare ever even try to hide under her bed.”
The girls snickered.
“That’s funny,” remarked Apple Bloom. “Maybe all Equestria needs is to make a siren that belts out Dash’s snorin’ to scare away the baddies?”
Sweetie Belle smiled.
“Rarity talks in her sleep,” she grinned. “It’s really funny when she starts waving her hoof about while saying something about a fashion she’s showing to one of those fashion ponies she works with.”
Scootaloo looked towards Apple Bloom and snickered.
“I bet your sister says a bunch of those ‘countryisms’ while kicking her blankets off like she’s bucking apples,” she teased. “Lasso spaghetti on apple-butter toast!”
The young farm pony blushed.
“Can’t deny it,” she sighed. “My favorite was when I heard her say, ‘Well hoot the owl and doodle the rooster.’.”
The girls all laughed.
Scootaloo got out of her sleeping bag and stretched.
“I say we go see what Spike does in his sleep!” she announced while wiggling her tiny wings.
“Whaddaya’ mean, Scoot?” wondered Apple Bloom. “Like snoopin’?”
“Just a peak,” the orange-colored filly Pegasus. Replied. “I’m not feeling all that tired and seeing what Spike is like when he sleeps sounds fun.”
“Can’t we just sleep, scootaloo?” pleaded Sweetie Belle. “I just got comfortable and you remember what happened when we snooped around on ponies the last time.”
Apple Bloom rolled over in her sleeping bag.
“Sweetie’s right, Scoot,” she stated. “No good will come of it.”
Scootaloo moved for the guest room door.
“And you all call me chicken,” she taunted. “Sleepovers are for adventure and living dangerously.”
“This comin’ from the pony whose afraid of old mare’s tales,” Apple Bloom retorted.
Scootaloo scowled.
“fine!” she snapped. “I ain’t afraid of nothing and I’ll prove it!”
Sweetie Belle sighed with frustration.
“We have to go after her,” she grumbled as she sat up in her sleeping bag.
“Yeah,” Apple Bloom moaned. “Last thing I want is to get in trouble because Scootaloo thinks she’s got somethin’ to prove.”
***
The orange Pegasus delighted in stealthily making her way through the halls of Twilight’s castle.
“I’ll show them who’s afraid,” she softly said to herself while peaking around a corner. “Spike’s room is just down this way and no pony is in sight.”
***
Spike was having a hard time sleeping. The purple dragon normally had no trouble at all getting cozy enough to fall into a deep slumber. However recent changes had made him a bit insecure.
“Just don’t think about it,” he said as he fixated his tired eyes upon a shiny gem in his claw. “It’s not a big deal. It’s only temporary. It’s not going to be forever.”
He gasped as he felt himself spasm with awareness of what was the cause of his bedtime woes.
“No!” he scolded himself. “I can’t let this beat me!”
The emerald-eyed dragon angrily kicked at his blankets and sat himself upp.
“Ungh…,” he moaned. “All I want to do is fall asleep!”
Spike took a firm grip on the gem and stared intently at it.
“Just think of the gem,” he said. “Think of how you’ll eat this in the morning and how delicious it will be to eat it without thinking of how… that… argh!”
***
Spike’s ranting from his bedroom caught the attention of Scootaloo.
“Ha!” she grinned. “I knew he didn’t just go to bed.”
TAP-TAP
EEP!
The orange Pegasus shrieked upon feeling something pat upon her back. However it wasn’t long before she realized it was just Apple Bloom with a groggy Sweetie Belle in tow.
“This ain’t a good idea, Scoot,” the Earth Pony with the red mane stated. “Best come back to bed with us.”
“Yeah,” Sweetie Belle whimpered. “What if Starlight or Twilight wake up?”
Scootaloo rolled her purple-colored eyes.
“Yeah…,” she trailed while adjusting herself to turn to burst into Spike’s bedroom door. “Not gonna’ happen!”
“Scootaloo!” growled Apple Bloom as she gave chase.
Sweetie Belle tripped on her hooves as she battled with herself on whether to stay, follow, or run back to the guest room.
“Wait for me!” she called as Scootaloo crashed through the door.
***
Spike really wanted to sleep. He really wanted to get some rest. However both escaped him and all because of-
CRASH!
-“Hey, Spike!” cheered Scootaloo who was soon followed by Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. “We weren’t ready for sleep and thought…”
Silence fell upon the room as Spike wearily looked towards the girls who all couldn’t believe what they had come to find.
“Uh…,” trailed Apple Bloom with a blush.
“Bad idea…,” stated Scootaloo.
Sweetie Belle simply burned red with embarrassment as she turned her head away.
The youthful dragon didn’t know whether to cry or be angry. He was just too tired from days of having to concern himself with…
“I wet the bed,” he stated with defeat. “So I have to wear a diaper so I don’t make a mess of my sheets.”
The girls were at a loss for words.
Spike’s face burned red with shame.
“You won’t tell anyone, right?” he asked pleadingly. “Only Twilight and Starlight know and I don’t want anyone else to know about this.”
Scootaloo felt very guilty for wanting to do what she did to Spike. This idea had definitely gone all wrong.
“Spike…,” Apple Bloom tried to apologize.
Sweetie Belle felt tears well up in her green eyes as she trotted towards the dragon.
“It’s okay,” she said. “I used to wet the bed, too.”
Spike appeared surprised to hear the filly Unicorn’s statement.
“Did you…,” he gulped while gesturing towards the diaper he was currently wearing. “Need one of these?”
Sweetie’s face burned so deep from embarrassment that the white coloring of her fur could barely be seen.
“I still, uh…,” she said while scraping a hoof upon the ground as she looked away. “I still need to when there are thunderstorms at night… Or if I’m really scared.”
Scootaloo and Apple Bloom looked at each other with surprise.
“It’s okay, Spike,” added Sweetie Belle as she reached to hold his claw in her hoof. “I didn’t want any pony to know either. However, just maybe, it is good to know as it does feel better knowing I’m not the only one who still wets the bed.”
Spike squeezed Sweetie Belle’s hoof.
“It does kind of feel better,” he replied.
“Uh…,” Scootaloo anxiously began. “I, uh, needed diapers until I was almost five.”
“It’s no big deal,” stated Apple Bloom. “We’re quite sorry for barging in on you like this. We won’t say anything and promise to never do somethin’ like this ever again.”
The situation was quite awkward. However Sweetie Belle knew how to put it all to an end.
PSHEW
The white Unicorn used her magic to fluff Spike’s pillow and bring his blanket back over his torso.
“Just get some rest,” she said. “No pony is going to say anything and you are no less a dragon for needing a little protection at night. You’ll grow out of it.”
The restless dragon laid himself down upon the pillow and held the blankets firmly in his claws.
“It will?” he asked with hope.
Sweetie nodded.
“It will,” she assured. “Rarity promised and so did my mom and dad.”
“Thanks,” yawned spike as his panic gave way for his total exhaustion.
Sweetie noticed the plush version of her sister lying on the floor and discretely slipped it under the blanket with her magic until it reached Spike’s side.
“Just rest easy,” she mothered. “Tomorrow is another day and everything will be a-okay.”
Spike’s eyes began to flutter closed.
“Okay girls,” Sweetie softly stated. “Let’s let Spike get his rest.”
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo nodded their heads before allowing their friend to lead the way out of the room.
“You’re not going to say anything to Rainbow Dash, are you?” the orange Pegasus asked with a hint of worry.
“As far as I’m concerned,” added Apple Bloom as they followed Sweetie Belle back to the guest room. “This never happened and will never happen again.”
“Privacy is important,” added Sweetie Belle. “Now let’s get some sleep and not go back to our Gabby Gums ways.”

I'm glad the CMCs learned that invasions of privacy can really hurt someone. It was nice that Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo were big enough to admit about their extra times spent in padding.
Well Apple Bloom? We're waiting to hear about your diaper secret too! Spit it out already! =P

<LoL!> As I wrote the story, I felt Sweetie Belle wanting to comfort Spike the most by not being afraid to share how she, too, needed, and sometimes still needs, protection at night. It gave her a strong contrast to her standard self of not really ever being the brave one.
I felt Scoot have quite the degree of guilt and, as a result, she shared her tale of needing diapers more to kind of not be 1UP'ed by Sweetie.
As for AB... I kept thinking on how she'd share something but, in my head, I kept hearing her say, "Don't ya' dare!" and "It's not mah fault I'm in this situation.". So I respected her wishes. :)
Thanks for reading, Tacki. It seems a lot of folks liked the story and I was glad to make something based on Sweetie Lover's art. :)

Indeed. ;) However, as AB is currently riding the high-ground with Scoots compromised for being a snoop and sweetie already showing she isn't shamed, Ms. Bloom can keep that secret all to herself with the hopeful knowledge that neither Scoot nor Sweetie will bring it up.
She may not ever have to worry about it, too. Scoot would be afraid if AB told RD about the situation, even if it isn't all that big a deal, and Sweetie Belle isn't one to start fights. :)
My pal, Wayward Pony, actually wrote two good stories about the CMC and time needed to come to terms with bedwetting. The tales are over on FiM Fiction, though. *Shrugs* They're really good and definitely do more justice to the topic than this lil' yarn.

I plan to do a regression story myself -- in the 10th book series of my Starponys series. After defeating a great evil and regaining their quasi-immortality, the two main Princesses find they have not only regained their youth -- but have reverted to their 8-year-old selves.
Previously, these Princesses had retired from their jobs because they had grown weary and suffered from lost confidence. As their 8-year-old selves, they go to school for the first time in their lives -- enrolling themselves at their own Royal Academy. Here, they will learn how to properly run an administration -- at the hands of all the new friends they have made throughout the 10 series.

I'm glad you liked the story and the image that inspired it.
Being totally blind, I completely used what Sweetie Lover gave me to develop one of many possibilities as to what this picture could signify.
It's lots of fun to think on how one image can tell so many tales. :)

I didn't draw this. *Blush* It was drawn by sweetielover. :)
Sweetie described the picture to me and I painted it in my head to make the story. (I've been doing this for over 2 years now. Lost the last of my physical vision 2 years ago)
I 'could' still draw despite having zero eyesight. However it'd be quite difficult as it would have to be totally memory based. If I wasn't able to do it all without ever lifting the pen I'd fail miserably.
However, as art was never my true strong point, I'm always happy to make stories assisted by art. :)

Speaking of visual descriptions, I have made my first visual description -- for my "STARPONYS" logo: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/30983215/ . I hope it accurately paints what I had in mind!
*hugs and nuzzles* your more than welcome my friend its fun when a picture inspires you the writer's spirit
and yes I have still been doing my own writing, in fact, I'm almost to the point in my story where I can start up a new one that will tie into the other story's i have been doing so you may see Prince Silver or Star Dust and Singer Bell show up in this main story

Golly! I haven't seen either of those shorts yet. I'll have to check those out ASAP.
It sounds like they are starting to release information for Season 9 on Discovery family. It also looks like, no surprise, Easter will be when the new season starts.
Easter has been a definite marker for Friendship Is Magic episodes kicking in.

This reads a lot like how an actual episode would go, with them learning that it's important to give others privacy, being accepting towards those who have difficulties or need a bit of extra help, and that others may have issues that you don't necessarily see, and might have things in common without even knowing, even if they aren't exactly the same problem.
Thanks, Skye. This story really wrote itself based on the description of the image I got from the artist, sweetielover. It was simple but felt right in the overall message.
I do hope you have been fairing well. It's always great to hear from you and, if you ever have a drawing, story, journal, etc. to share, please let me know. :)

That's interesting. To me, the image looks kind of "seductive", like Spike is trying to flirt and entice someone to come into bed with him, so it doesn't really fit at all in my mind, aside from the diapers.
I've been doing better after a long period of being horrible. I've been starting to draw a bit more again too. Thanks for reminding me about sharing stuff, once I finish what I'm currently working on I'll definitely show you that and the most recent drawing I did since they fit together.

Ooh! I would like that very much.
*Blush* The description of the picture made me go in a bunch of directions. The "Bedroom Eyes", to me, felt better over just being extremely tired as a result of feeling so uncomfortable in his current situation.
However, honestly, I think the artist was going for a more 'come hither' than a tale about coping with bedwetting.
Nice thing is, in the end, he liked it and others did, too. This is why I like art and how we all can see it in different ways. You just never know what inspiration you will pull from a work. :)
I am so happy you are doing art again, Skye. You remain one who gives me strength by just knowing how you never give up despite anything that may happen. I am grateful for you as a good friend.

It's really fascinating how one can get inspired by something even if their idea differs so much from what inspired them in the first place. Even so, I can definitely see how you got the idea now from what you said, since he looks so confident, it actually makes sense to be inspired to write a story that takes it in the direction of Spike not being ashamed of needing diapers.
There are periods when I give up - I'm not really a "never give up" kind of person, but rather a "pick your battles" kind of person. Though the one thing I will definitely never give up on is doing what I enjoy, despite my struggles I will always work towards finding a way. One thing my illness taught me was to just take every day one step at a time as to not exhaust myself. That there's no shame in having days where nothing is accomplished, and that even so much as "got up and played a video game" can be considered an accomplishment, and that it's not just "wasting time". You too, have given me strength, as well as my other friends, the pets I had in the past, and my mom. So many things in life just can't be accomplished alone.

This is so very true. Being able to have self-confidence and self-esteem is key to overall well-being. However one cannot always feel at their best. However you wouldn't be an honest person if you always felt you could overcome everything life throws at you all by yourself. We all take a hit, stagger back, and then seek out how to not fall down. Even if the trauma knocks us down we know there are friends there to lend a hand up as we recover.
I'm getting better at accepting 'slow days'. I beat myself up a lot if I'm not 'productive'. However, to be honest, I do get days where it all gets to me so much that I kind of implode. This really isn't bad when you look at it as 'regaining your mental stability'. We all need time to process what life throws at you.
I'm glad we can mutually help each other through life's ups-and-downs. Truly I'm delighted to hear from you more and hope we can keep sharing words as frequently is reasonably possible. :)

I love that everytime you make such amazing art, you also add a really interesting story into it which makes it a lot better than it already is. This is pretty much what I like to see from an artist because it shows that you are really into what you are drawing and I can tell that you enjoyed making this
